Histories of Southern hymns : especially those in the Old Red Book. by McKinley, Janie Mae Jones,author.(CARDINAL)299935;
"When we sing the old hymns, we may not know why they were written. A happy song might have been a hymnwriter's determination to find hope in sadness. During grief or joy, we can relate. Of particular interest are songs in the 1951 Church Hymnal by Tennessee Music and Publishing Company, now Pathway Press, Cleveland, TN, and the nearby Red Book display at the Museum and Cultural Center at 5ive Points. The Church Hymnal remains popular with Shape Note singers, and many Southern churches enjoy nostalgic Red Book Singings. These hymn histories, along with memories of homecomings and Saturday-night singings, are dedicated to church organists, pianists, guitar players, song leaders, quartets, and choir members who love and enjoy Southern gospel songs. Ours is a great musical heritage, and we have fond memories of the Old Red Book" -- back cover.Nearly 75 years after its publication in 1951, the Church Hymnal remains a popular choice in Southern churches. Fondly known as The Old Red Book or the Red-Back Hymnal, it contains both traditional hymns and four-part harmony songs favored by Shape-Note singers. Enjoy reading the history of many of these songs, as well as the stories of some quartet-style Gospel songs that could not be included in the 410-page publication in 1951. In the Histories of Southern Hymns, Volume 1, Janie Mae Jones McKinley recalls the early days of Southern Gospel Music. Before television, people in mountain communities walked miles to attend Saturday night singings. Local groups who sang Shape Note songs were honored guests at annual homecomings, and traveling quartets pioneered by James D. Vaughn were popular. Traditional hymns were also enjoyed, especially those written by Fannie Crosby. Blessed Assurance from the 1800s was always a favorite, along with John Newton’s Amazing Grace and Rev. A.M. Toplady’s Rock of Ages from the 1700s. Janie Mae especially recalls the 1951 Church Hymnal. The comprehensive songbook has remained a popular standard nearly 75 years later because it includes both traditional and quartet-style songs. Janie Mae has compiled the histories of over 70 songs in Volume 1. Hymnwriters often wrote of hope and happiness during difficult times in their own lives. Those songs become more meaningful to us as we understand the histories behind them.
